Well my groom #2 francavilla variant arrived, as well as my print of his ‘here’s juggy’ Afterlife cover (#42 of 108)
Got my comic block ordered so I can get the green lantern/Star Trek variant.
Pulls this week:
Ant man annual
Book of death
Doomed
Attilan rising
Invincible
Justice league
Superman/Wonder Woman

One of my shops has had postal #1 sitting around since it came out, so I’ll probably grab it as a second copy now that a tv show is being teased.

I read about 15 new titles this week that have been collecting up. 2 titles stood out the most, and will be added to regular pulls, Invisible Republic and Strange Fruit. Anyhow, the grabs for this week…

I would say this was a calm week. Hopefully a couple more of these come along so I can save up for NYCC. Still awhile away but doesn’t hurt to prepare.

Book of Death #1
Ant Man Annual
It will all hurt #2
Rivers of London #1
Death Head #1
Guardians of Nowhere #1 Gwenom Variant
Island #1

Stayed away from incentives this week just because I wanted to save some money. It was tempting and I definitely stared at the wall for awhile (my LCS has incentives on the wall behind the counter). Then ultimately decided to be a boring adult. The child version of me just punched adult me in the nards (i probably wouldn’t have said balls as a kid).

Third shop had it. Plus the variants. It’s a much busier shop, but unfortunately it’s too far for me to go to every week so I don’t pull there.
What’s funny is the shops that didn’t get it both carry bloodshot reborn.

I received Head Lopper 1 & 2 in the mail this past week. I asked for them signed and received them signed. However, they were signed inside the book instead of on the cover. Are there any opinions out there on where you prefer books to be signed? Dave Sim signed my Cerebus issues inside with a sketch. Eric Powell signed one Goon book on the cover and another book inside the cover with a sketch inside. Makes it difficult to slab that book. Neil Gaiman signed my Sandman 1 & 8 on the cover allowing me to slab them and still enjoy the signature.

Was suppose to be a smaller week for me but picking up every Book of Death cover killed my wallet. Plus my wife finally started reading the Walking Dead TPB (yeah, she’s not touching my comics to read them, she doesn’t handle comics very well) I have and I only had up to 19 so buying 3 of those (even with the 20% discount on the $14.99 from my goto shop) eats at my weekly tab..

Been busy with my wedding / honeymoon, so today was the first time in over a month I’ve had the opportunity to step into a shop. It was like going home again. It’s not until you spend time away from something do you realize you miss it…

I had a comic damaged once, said they don’t accept returns on damaged comics. I then td them I simply didn’t want it and they said okay, return for refund. It was pretty silly. If you bought by credit card, you can dispute the charges if it was advertised as near mint and it is not in near mint when arrived.
